Description

Cannon & Associates is seeking an Experienced full-time Family Law Attorney to join our Edmond team of Fierce Advocates.

Our Family Law team represents clients through some of the most difficult and life-changing moments of their lives. We take that responsibility seriously. Our attorneys are expected to bring more than legal knowledge to the table-they bring preparation, sound judgment, compassion, accountability, and a genuine commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for each client.

We are looking for an experienced Family Law Attorney who is a strong advocate, confident in the courtroom, and comfortable handling complex family law matters. The right attorney understands that exceptional client service and exceptional legal work go hand in hand. You should be able to think strategically, communicate clearly, manage your cases with ownership, and work collaboratively with attorneys, paralegals, and the broader team.

At Cannon & Associates, you are not expected to do it all alone. We believe the strongest results come from professionals who communicate, share knowledge, hold one another accountable, and step up when their team needs them. At the same time, we expect every attorney to take ownership of their work, solve problems, and continually look for ways to become better at what they do.

This is an opportunity for an attorney who wants to practice family law at a high level while being part of something bigger than their individual caseload. We invest in professional development, value honest feedback, and believe a strong culture is built by people who care about their work, their clients, and the people beside them.

If you are a Skilled Family Law Attorney who wants to be challenged, supported, and surrounded by a team that takes both its work and its culture seriously, we would love to hear from you.
